64 percent Indians confident with two doses of COVID vaccine, not interested in precautionary dose: Survey

Many people who have had both doses of the vaccine are inclined to take the booster dose, but when considering those who do not wish to do so, a majority (64 per cent of respondents) tells that their confidence in the two doses of the vaccine is the most important factor for not wanting a precautionary dose. Close to one in five (19 per cent) stated that they are scared of the short-term side-effects like fever, etc while 17 percent are worried about the alleged long-term side effects of the vaccines (like heart attacks, medical complications, etc). Some doubt the effectiveness of the booster dose (15 percent) while others (13 percent) said they took the first dose of out compulsion (for travel, etc) but will now resist taking a booster dose for Covid.
